... Oh.

[ what!! ]

I know what tsukumogami are—I am Japanese, you know. But that stuff's usually just stories.

[hasteful]

Ahaha, I can't tell with everybody here! But that's good, it's really reassuring!

[and he does seem a little relieved - it's nice, that they persist on even in stories]

Well... I guess this is your way of discovering that the stories can take on lives of their own. So please treat your antiques gently, and be nice to them.

[help,]

[adorabrawler]

[ this is so weird help ]

Um, sure, I'll... do my best. I don't think I own anything that old though.

[hasteful]

I guess most people don't, especially in the modern era.

Hmm... Then be nice to the ones you see in museums, I guess. I imagine they get a bit lonely.

[adorabrawler]

Hmm... Do they? I would have thought otherwise, since people come to visit them every day.

[hasteful]

Not all of them, and not all the time. There's some that get put into storage by humans, or aren't available for public viewing.

I imagine the windows they get to see people are pretty nice for them.

[adorabrawler]

I can't believe you're making me feel bad for a bunch of stuff.

[hasteful]

[he laughs a little bit]

I don't mean to, I don't mean to!

Ultimately, we swords were forged to serve humanity - so whatever you decide is fine. I just think it's nice to be remembered, sometimes.

[adorabrawler]

So that's what you are—a sword?

[hasteful]

[nods!]

That's right. [and he'll make a gesture to the blade at his hip] This is also me.

[adorabrawler]

[ .. ? ]

If you're here, how are you also there?

[hasteful]

Ah, our Master summoned us in these forms - these human bodies - so that we could wield ourselves. That's part of being able to complete our missions.
